Abstract:

Being able to predict the goal of other people’s actions is an important aspect of our daily lives. This ability allows us to interact timely with others and adjust our behaviour appropriately. The general aim of the present thesis was to explore which processes best explain our ability to predict other people’s action goals during development. There are different theories concerning this ability. Some stress the fact that observation of others actions activate the same areas of the brain involved in our own action production, this way helping us to understand what they are doing. Other theori

Abstract:

When we produce an action we generate predictions about the sensory consequences that are likely to ensue. This thesis tests a series of claims about the functional contribution these predictions make to perception, the role that such predictions play in processing the reactions of others, and the range of sensory inputs that these prediction mechanisms operate over. Chapter 1 outlines the theoretical background to each of these claims, alongside the previous literature that motivates subsequent experiments. The first three empirical chapters focus on claims about the functional role of sensor

Abstract:

Being able to generate predictions about what is going to happen next while observing other people’s actions plays a crucial role in our daily lives. Different theoretical explanations for the underlying processes of humans’ action prediction abilities have been suggested. Whereas an embodied account posits that predictive gaze relies on embodied simulations in the observer’s motor system, other accounts do not assume a causal role of the motor system for action prediction. The general aim of this thesis was to augment current knowledge about the functional mechanisms behind humans’ action pre

Abstract:

Observing others is predicting others. Humans have a natural tendency to make predictions about other people’s future behavior. This predisposition sits at the basis of social cognition: others become accessible to us because we are able to simulate their internal states, and in this way make predictions about their future behavior (Blakemore & Decety, 2001). In this thesis, I examine prediction in the social realm through three main contributions. The first contribution is of a theoretical nature, the second is methodological, and the third contribution is empirical. On the theoretical plane,

Abstract:

Static image action recognition aims at identifying the action performed in a given image. Most existing static image action recognition approaches use high-level cues present in the image such as objects, object human interaction, or human pose to better capture the action performed. Unlike images, videos have temporal information that greatly improves action recognition by resolving potential ambiguity. We propose to leverage a large amount of readily available unlabeled videos to transfer the temporal information from video domain to static image domain and hence improve static image action

Abstract:

This study is a step forward in developing two different methods; one recognises human actions in an unbiased environment, the other predicts the next human action. The proposed methods that are based on deep learning, convolutional neural networks and long-short term memories, work regardless of camera motion, viewpoint variation, and irrelevant background context. The key outcome of this research is to enable an assistive robot to help a human peer performing an assembly task, using the proposed algorithms.

The overarching aim of this thesis was to further understand the processes and internal representations involved in predicting action outcomes, by manipulating information sources during learning and prediction. Growing evidence suggests that the human motor system is activated during action observation, such that motor representations are invoked, through simulative processes that help facilitate an understanding of the unfolding action. In this work, we employed a design that manipulated visual and motor influences during learning and prediction, to try to understand; a) the types of interna

In this thesis I explore functions of the neuromodulator dopamine in the context of autonomous learning and behaviour. I first investigate dopaminergic influence within a simulated agent-based model, demonstrating how modulation of synaptic plasticity can enable reward-mediated learning that is both adaptive and self-limiting. I describe how this mechanism is driven by the dynamics of agentenvironment interaction and consequently suggest roles for both complex spontaneous neuronal activity and specific neuroanatomy in the expression of early, exploratory behaviour.

<p>Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play a key role in the innate immune response. They can be ubiquitously found in a wide range of eukaryotes including mammals, amphibians, insects, plants, and protozoa. In lower organisms, AMPs function merely as antibiotics by permeabilizing cell membranes and lysing invading microbes. Prediction of antimicrobial peptides is important because experimental methods used in characterizing AMPs are costly, time consuming and resource intensive and identification of AMPs in insects can serve as a template for the design of novel antibiotic.

Abstract:

When interacting, people imitate each other. This tendency is truly ubiquitous and occurs in many different situations and behaviours. But what causes it? Several mechanisms have been proposed to contribute to imitation. In this thesis, I focus on three candidate mechanisms: simulation, temporal adaptation, and the goal to affiliate with others. I start by discussing different imitative behaviours, and reviewing the evidence that imitation might at times emerge spontaneously. I also review the evidence suggesting that the three candidate mechanisms might be involved in such emergent imitation.

At the fine level, richer features are available to identify different parts of the human body, therefore we rely on the body joint tracks.

One key shortcoming of this paradigm shift is that the protein targets modulated need to be elucidated subsequently, which is often a costly and time-consuming procedure.

Abstract:

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>The availability of low cost sensors and mobile devices allowed many advances in research of ubiquitous and pervasive computing area. With the capture of contextual data provided by the sensors attached to these devices it is possible to obtain user state information and the environment, and thus map the relationship between them. One approach to map these relationships are the activities performed by the user, which also are part of the context itself. However, even that human activities could cause injuries, there is not much dis

Abstract:

Es considera que la cognició biològica fa servir mecanismes com la predicció, l'anticipació i l'atenció per resoldre tasques complexes. S'ha suggerit que aquests mecanismes es materialitzen en els mamífers a través d'interaccions entre les capes corticals, mentre que la seva manifestació en cervells relativament més simples, como el dels invertebrats, és encara poc clara. En la cognició artificial, la naturalesa i la interacció dels mecanismes mencionats roman, en gran mesura, no quantificada. Aquí proposem un enfoc filogènic i basat en models per descobrir com interactuen aquests mecanismes c

Abstract:

The current degree of economic inequality in the US is the largest it has been since prior to the Great Depression and growing. Economic inequality is linked to mortality, social capital, interpersonal trust, and democratic participation, beyond the effects of poverty. Two main constructs are reviewed as predictors of support for efforts to reduce inequality: 1) distributive justice norms (equity and equality of outcome), and 2) causal attributions (individual and structural). Justification of the unequal status quo is often driven by reference to dominant cultural values personal responsib

Abstract:

The human gaze is pivotal in motion planning and control. Gaze is typically directed at visual target sites prior to physical interactions with them. This proactive gaze (PEG) behavior has been observed in a multitude of physical situations. However, PEG has not been examined in virtual reality (VR). Identification of PEG in VR could be helpful for digital human modeling applications and human-robot interactions. In this study we asked 10 participants to perform a pick-and-place (PAP) task in VR while we were tracking gaze behavior. Our results indicate that PEG also occurs in VR. Furthermore,

Abstract:

Das Gefühl der Kontrolle über die eigenen körperlichen Handlungen, und dadurch über die externe Umwelt ist einer der Grundpfeiler unserer menschlichen Existenz. Dieser fundamentale Aspekt der Identität ist bekannt als ‘Sense of Agency’ (SoA). Innerhalb der Neurowissenschaften begann die intensive Untersuchung dieses faszinierenden Konzepts erst innerhalb der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte. Das vorliegende Forschungsprojekt befasst sich mit zwei zentralen Aspekten des Sense of Agency. Zum einen wurden die zwei zugrundeliegenden neurokognitiven Mechanismen ‘Vorhersage’ und ‘Retrospektive Inferenz

L’apprentissage automatique continue d’apporter de nombreux avantages dans les industries où les outils utilisant l’intelligence artificielle optimisent les processus de fabrication, prédisent les pannes des machines, améliorent le contrôle qualité grâce à la détection des défauts en temps réel, etc. Cependant, de nombreux défis persistent pour répondre aux exigences variées des applications dans le monde réel. Cette thèse se concentre sur l’un de ces défis, à savoir l’efficacité dans la création et l’utilisation des données quand ces dernières sont limitées en quantité. Les travaux présentés
